Astrnmers have examined the stars that a new space telescpe might target, t prepare fr ne f the mst advanced searches fr life n ther planets. They fund ut which star systems might be mre suitable t hunt fr ptential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans t launch the Habitable Wrlds Observatry（HWO）. Its big gal is t image abut 25Earth-like planets in the habitable znes f sun-like stars-where water and even life culd exist. Befre building the HWO, scientists are wrking n significant challenges it will face.
One f thse is chsing stars within arund 100 light years frm Earth that the telescpe might target. Caleb Harada at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 ptential stars t determine their characteristics. These stars culd becme sme f the mst studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discvered that 102 f the stars are binaries（双子星）, which culd make the search fr life mre cmplex. The HWO telescpe will use a tl t blck ut the stars’ light t attempt t image planets in rbit and study the gases in their atmspheres. “If binaries are t clse tgether, the light frm the unblcked star will be s bright that it’ll cver up the planets and make them hard t see,” explains Bruce Macintsh frm the University f Califrnia Observatries.
Out f all the stars, 33 have dust rings that culd make it hard t see planets clearly. “This makes explring harder,” says Harada. “Sme stars als smetimes burst int bright flames, like ur sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need t check clsely that they’re nt t strng, because these can affect life and living cnditins,” explains Harada.
32．Why is HWO t be built?
A．T take pictures f planets.B．T find ut habitable planets.
C．T identify Earth-like planets.D．T prepare fr the search fr life.
33．What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．The applicatin f the telescpe.B．The characteristics f studied stars.
C．The analysis f ptential sun-like stars.D．The challenge f finding the right stars.
34．What challenges planet detectin arund binary stars?
A．The HWO telescpe.B．Tightly spaced binary stars.
C．The brightness f unblcked stars.D．The gases in planets’ atmspheres.
35．What factr might prevent the frmatin f life accrding t the last paragraph?
A．Space explratin.B．Stars’ intense bursts.
C．Frequent slar flares.D．Dust rings n planets.
